Are we for real? Deloitte and Accenture pulled ahead of MBB? Damn https://www.forbes.com/sites/haniyarae/2025/08/27/meet-the-worlds-best-management-consulting-firms-2025/

I’ve been in a grad job for 1.5 years. Looking to get into MBB at the 2 year mark. What level roles should I be applying for? Also, does anyone have any tips?

For those that have switched from Big 4 to MBB, how was the switch and any advice?

Does anyone else find it absolutely hysterical that people group MBB/FAANG/PE/VC for the prestige-oriented folks and they never include BB IB 🤣

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

Hi Everyone!! Looking for opportunities/referrals for senior consultant profile in ESG domain.
current experience 4 years
preferred organisation: Big4 or MBB

What is typical in base/bonus for a corporate venture capital associate after MBB?

Are MBB people ever willing to refer someone they have a connection to but don’t personally know (same school or previous employer but haven’t talked to them before)? If so, what makes them likely to refer someone with this degree of connection?

Salam, given the recent hiring surge at MBB, I'm thinking of applying. I was wondering if someone would be open to chat, I want to learn more about the work and culture at these firms. Thank you

I’m in my 2nd year in audit. I want to pivot into management consulting within a big 4 or MBB. Has anyone seen someone make this lateral movement? I’m not sure how feasible that is and what steps to take. I’m also down to discuss further with whoever is comfortable in connecting.

Hello les fish,
Des idées de salaires de manager (fixe, bonus, total comp) à Paris en MBB ? J'ai en tête un package autour de 180-200 ça vous semble comment ?

Bonjour ici !
Je suis un consultant italien avec nationalité française, j'ai été récemment contacté par une MBB et j'envisage de m'installer à Paris depuis le Moyen-Orient où je travaille actuellement.
Y a-t-il quelqu'un qui aimerait entrer en contact et me parler de son expérience?
Merci beaucoup !

Hello - moving the NL with my Dutch husband this Summer and am interested in MBB. I don't have a masters (not common in the US), I have my bachelors. Is it possible for me to still get into MBB? Is anyone willing to chat about office culture and willing to give a rec? Thanks!

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

Anyone from MBB here? Have you heard anything about Salesforce B2B Commerce work within your firm?

What is your opinion on moving from Tier 2 (5 years, strategy consulting) to MBB as manager/senior manager? MBB office (LatAm) reached out looking for experienced consulting manager to join their team

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Anyone knows manager compensation in Jakarta MBB office? Tried Glassdoor but sample size is too small. Considering moving back home.

Those who want to join FAANG: don’t you think that the upward mobility is limited? Thousands of super ambitious MBB background people with top credentials joined these firms over the last decade.

Got an offer from BCN as Associate. Wondering if there are any openings or if anyone here can refer me to other openings in MBB. Looking for options.

Anyone working with Fiserv Solutions Or Banco de Sabadell Clients.
They have relevant openings for my stack, but they are Banking Projects. I had heard banking projects are strict with their security. Will they ask to report to office or any other measures we have to follow

How is KPMG WLB and Job security..I got offer from KPMG..and it is my frst switch into Big 4..also please say the default work timings in KPMG..please fishes..show ur comments on this..

Word to all of you out there, if you trash talk other people within your industry (and clients), they will find out and they soon may be in a position to decide if they want to hire you. Happened to several people I know. When will people learn that egos and talking shit is so outdated. 🙄

Hi all! I’m currently a commercial account manager at an independent agency with 3.5 years experience….looking to move to underwriting. Any leads on where to start? I’m located in the New England area and would love to be remote.

I feel like I'm doing everything right, but my research is not getting the attention it deserves.

I've submitted papers to all the right journals, gone to all the right conferences, and published on all the right topics. Yet no one seems to care—no one's citing my work!

How do I get people to pay attention?

Any product based companies hiring data engineers?
Can someone refer me please?
YOE: 4

Can someone help on how to get a burner?

Has anyone transitioned from bedside/patient facing healthcare to clinical research? I am looking at making the switch and would appreciate any insight!

Damn LIBOR rate up again...

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???

Anyone have any recommendations for home office ergonomic desk chairs?

My background isn’t in marketing/branding/PR but I’m being thrown into an engagement for a small organization who has many different sub-brands. I now how to give them high level guidance on how to ensure their branding and message is consistent. Any resources/books you’d recommend I could crash course this on?

Can you guys give me recommendations or links to stores (you have used, not just random internet search) for good stories online or in NY for buying a lab grown diamond engagement ring.
I know of the usual suspects - brilliant earth, James Allen and Blue Nile. Thank you

For those that have switched from Big 4 to MBB, how was the switch and any advice?

When conference goers come into the Sheraton lounge and are *blown away*

To those starting the year on the beach: office or home office ...or actual beach?

How do I check my actual utilization (not the effective one). Mybusiness only tells me the effective utilization

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

If you’re working on the east cost and the client is on the west coast, is it too much to ask for them to consider the time difference and not schedule a meeting at 5:30p on a Friday??

Best ergonomic desk chairs under $200?

So, what happens if you miss your utilization/billable hour target by like 70-150 hours? Tons of "impactful" PRD work
